Far too much CC like Ana's sleep and too much AoE spam, like Hanzo's ultimate.

I'm still new as fuck, maybe it'll get better, but for now the game is just... ugh.
I wish TF2 wasn't dead. :(

It's mostly the fact that it's so goddamn casual.

5 minute matches, hero switching, no scoreboard, tiny skillset for each character, small maps. It's just... ugh. So much potential, but so much wasted.

I can't say that TF2 wasn't casual as well, but yeah. I feel like no matter how bad you are, you can still be pretty effective (almost too effective) in this game. Just look at Soldier, for example. Literal aimbot. So many skills let you get kills by just aiming in the general direction of the other team.

Sure, you can play Engineer or Medic in TF2, but if the other team knows what they're doing, even those classes won't save you.

Meh I do feel like some characters are too babby mode. Even skill characters like McCree and Widow have babby mechanics that babby the player too much like Flashbang and Widow having like no recoil or cool down between her shots besides when she has to reload

That said I only really play this game to wind down >.>

Hanzo and his log sized arrows annoy me to this day, half of my deaths are me happening to wander in to hanzos aim when he was aiming at someone else.

About half of them so far. I liked playing Tracer, but she kinda feels like a shittier Scout to me >_>
Roadhog was fun as well, but he feels so weak now.
Soldier and Hanzo were okay. Not very hard to do well with, but eh.
Mercy's fun, but only if your team's decent.
I need to put more time into the other heroes before I judge them.

It's a fun casual game. If you're not having fun just don't play.

I know, I'm just looking for something to replace TF2, and a bunch of my friends play it. I want to give it a real chance before I give up on it.

Wat? TF2 is the 7th most played game TODAY on Steam. Over 68k players.

Eh, sure, but compared to its prime?
And all the community servers I frequented are gone, and next to none of my friends still play... I mean, it's not hard to find a game or anything, but still.

at the very least, I can promise you roadhog is not underpowered! and Mercy is absolutely broken as long as you pay attention to your surroundings.

Who did you main in tf2?

Well, Roadhog doesn't feel underpowered, especially now that he can move and heal, I just miss oneshotting people.
And, yeah, Mercy can be strong as hell, but if my team is even more awful than me, then it doesn't really matter how well I can keep them alive...
I used to main Scout (with Soldier and Medic when needed). I thought I'd love Tracer, but she just doesn't feel as mobile as Scout. She just makes me miss the constant speed and the double jumping. And the shotgun, it just feels better than the pistols.
Pharah's lack of rocket jumping = no bueno
Mercy is about as fun as Medic though, so that's my go to when everyone else refuse to go healer.

It might as well be a "git gud" thing, so I'll keep playing now and then for at least a couple weeks until I give up for real.

its not a literal rocket jump, but you can use her concussion rockets to quickly propel yourself in one direction. Roadhog cant really hit those one-shots anymore, but a medium-range shot into a hook into another shot plus the bonus melee is still devastating.

have you tried moira out at all? Ive found her to be a blast, primarily because she is severely overpowered.

This.

Hes a great character to use if youre new. The first time I ever played this game I got a 38 player killstreak just from my turret. His turret kinda plays the game for you while youre still figuring stuff out.

I just main DVa and got really good with D Matrix so I eat a lot of ults. it's so easy to bait pulse bombs because throwing it at the ground like mei/zarya ult is a waste.

yeah there are some pretty stupid abilities. making mccrees flashbang kill all momentum was legitimately one of the most dumbfounding changes Ive ever seen in a game.

no it wasn't. it was ridiculous stunning a genji or lucio and having them land 10 yards away.

sometimes I still hook genjis during dash and have them end up behind me

hook stuff aside, thats how momentum works. you shouldnt be able to stun and instakill any squishy character without fail, Im sorry. It was a bad change that buffed an already overpowered mccree. not every dps character needs to be able to kill every other character at all times. This game needs more tech characters, not stupid jack-of-all-trades attackers.

One of the more recent things that I am still pissed about is how they nerfed everyone's ults. Holy hell if you have projectile ults especially it is infuriating when they get shut down so easily just by being stunned or killed mid animation.

I actually like the change since it was so inconsistent before with some ults instantly being instantly used when you press Q and others not being drained(or only partially being drained) if you were killed during the "casting" animation of your ult

it also punishes bad ult use more, and tbh I'm overwhelmingly in favor of most things that increase the performance gap between good and bad players
